LMSA-West Canopy Scholarship

The LMSA-West Canopy Scholarship was developed in 2021 to assist future LMSA healthcare providers in providing better care to Spanish-speaking patients. The scholarship provides access to CanopyLearn Medical Spanish, a self-paced eLearning course created to eliminate language barriers through its reusable multilingual content and capture reimbursement for language services from payers. The goal of the LMSA-West Canopy Scholarship is to empower healthcare systems to invest in recognizing and supporting their bilingual staff. Three awards are given each year to students at different educational stages: one high school student, one undergraduate, one medical student, and one resident/fellow. Applicants must demonstrate community involvement and the desire to work with Spanish-speaking patients in the LMSA West Region.
